Associated Press has unveiled its Top Ten Albums of 2008, and it’s a bit of doozy.
Take that any way you want.
The list includes everything from two releases both named “Fearless,” to the year’s top-selling CD, to a CD that’s not released until Tuesday.
I agree with three of the ten selections. Here’s the AP list:
1. Erykah Badu, “New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War”
2. Estelle, “Shine”
3. Sia, “Some People Have Real Problems”
4. Kanye West, “808s & Heartbreaks”
5. Jazmine Sullivan, “Fearless”
6. Lil Wayne, “Tha Carter III”
7. Taylor Swift, “Fearless”
8. Anthony Hamilton, “The Point of It All”
9. My Morning Jacket, “Evil Urges”
10. Mariah Carey, “E=MC2
Honorable mentions: N.E.R.D., “Seeing Sounds”; Katy Perry, “One of the Boys”; Al Green, “Lay It Down”; Pink, “Funhouse”; Lizz Wright, “The Orchard”
